Gritty, grainy, shot with available light and a
video camera -- so it looks like your family videos.
Although, I do hope this isn't your family.

And no doubt, directed a heck of a lot better than
your videos. Vinterberg (director) whips his little
vid cam around like it's taped to the remote control
toy car from a "Home Alone" film.

The story follows Christian, a full grown man with
childhood issues yet to resolve, as he changes the
tone of this family celebration.

"The Celebration" showcases excellent acting, a
great screenplay, and new innovative cinematography
that is exciting and exhausting at the same time.

Directed and co-written by: Thomas Vinterberg
(Vinterberg is a member of a collective of film
directors (Dogme 95) who oppose the auteur concept,
make-up, illusions and dramaturgical predictability;
letting 'the inner lives of the characters justify the
plot.')
In Danish with English subtitles.
